Exception Value: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'endswith'

Right, I am trying to setup a django dev site based on a current live site. I've setup the new virtualenv and installed all of the dependencies. I've also made a copy of the database and done a fresh DB dump. I'm now getting the error above and I have no idea why.

My django.wsgi file seems to be pointing at the virtalenv. Here is a little more info on the error.

I hope this is enough to go on but i'm really stuck as to why this is coming up!

In this stanza:

# URL that handles pages media and uses <MEDIA_ROOT>/pages by default.
_media_url = getattr(settings, "STATIC_URL", settings.MEDIA_URL)
PAGES_MEDIA_URL = getattr(settings, 'PAGES_MEDIA_URL',
    join(_media_url, 'pages/'))

STATIC_URL is not in settings, and settings.MEDIA_URL is None. Looks like you need to fix your settings.
